Celebrate local drag-racing history with legends Don Prudhomme and Tom McEwen at this weekend’s 13th Meguiar’s Del Nationals.

The biannual show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds will attract thousands of rods, customs, muscle cars, trucks, specialty cars and just about every other form of fuel-burning vehicle.

The sprawling array of automotive ingenuity includes sellers of parts, tools and accessories; a swap meet and cars-for-sale area; “themed” parking areas; the Goodguys Autocross (to test the agility of driver and vehicle) and a model car show.

While all Goodguys shows are heavy on American metal from 1972 and older, there is a place for modern performance. On Sunday, the show welcomes all makes, models and years of American-powered vehicles.

Remember these guys? “The Snake” (Prudhomme) and “The Mongoose” (McEwen) will have a meet-and-greet at 12:15 p.m. Saturday near the clocktower. Their vintage ramp trucks with the funny cars will be on display in Pat O’Brien Hall.

“The Snake” (Prudhomme) and “The Mongoose” (McEwen) will be around through the weekend to meet with fans and sign autographs. The San Diego-based racers will have a meet-and-greet at 12:15 p.m. Saturday. Both will sign free posters and there will be memorabilia for sale including T-shirts and collectibles. Their vintage ramp trucks with the funny cars will be on display in Pat O’Brien Hall.

Their racing rivalry will be presented on the big screen in “Snake and Mongoose,” which will be released Sept. 6 in theaters. The film stars Jesse Williams, Tim Blake Nelson, Fred Dryer and Richard Blake.

Look for Prudhomme and McEwen near the fairgrounds’ clocktower, where there will be a display of vintage dragsters. And at 1 p.m. Friday and Saturday, gather ’round for the nitromethane “Thunderfest” when the slings are fired up.
